I am reserving judgement on Life of Crime (a show which started with an episode set during the Brixton Riots which then did not have anything to do with the Brixton Riots) until it finishes (next week I think) but it's been a very strange show so far.
In the meantime, there's recently been a two-parter on ITV called Murder on the Home Front, based on the memoir of Molly Lefebure, a journalist who became the secretary of a forensic pathologist during WW2. I haven't read the book yet but I'm hoping to get hold of it in the next couple of weeks, partly because I want to see how much of the show is directly from the memoir.
Overall, I'd recommend the show if you've not got much on and you want something a bit fluffy and not too taxing. It's glossier than Foyle's War or Bletchley Circle (partly, I think, because it's set in London during the Blitz, so there's a different attitude at play), but the main female characters (Molly and photographer Issy) are engaging and the story bounces along pretty quickly. Oh, and it does have clips from the ITMA radio show on the soundtrack, which is a very nice touch.
Now for the spoilery rambling:
( spoilers )
